Vincero Design Magnetic Water Bottle System

Occasionally, something a bit different, unique and intriguing comes along in the bike world, and one of that is the Vincero Design magnetic water bottle system. The system is comprised of a water bottle with a slot (female) on one side that has an embedded magnet, and it mates to a magnetized rail mount (male) which is attached via the water bottle bosses to the bike. The slot and the rail align with each other, and the strong magnetic pair keeps the bottle securely attached.

I finally got around to test out the system today, and I was truly amazed how nice it worked. The installation of the system was simple, just attach the rail mount to the water bottle bosses with the wedge pointing down. Fill up the water bottle, and mate the bottle slot and rail mount, and it’s ready to go.
The water bottle pulled off with a slight tug (they are strong magnets), and only required about an inch of movement for it to release. The bottle has a nice valve, and a gentle squeeze started a fast flow without any drips. When I put the bottle back towards the mount, it seemed to get sucked right onto the wedge without me doing many positioning. It was literally 3 quick steps to get a drink of water, pull the bottle off, squeeze a drink and position over the mount. Even when I got it positioned slightly off the mount, with the bottle nose high, it didn’t seem to make much difference. My ride consisted of some stutter bumps, tree roots and other jarring terrain, and the bottle securely stayed on.

Final Thoughts

The system is amazingly easy to use, and requires 3 simple steps to get a drink. No longer was I required to yank the bottle out of a cage, twisting and pulling through a large amount of travel, and then jamming the bottle back into the cage when I was done. The rough terrain that I rode did not eject the bottle, so it sat securely on the mount. The S24 bottle itself had an excellent draw, without any leaks, and mated perfectly to the mount, connected through the strong pair of magnets. The edge16 mount was small and unobtrusive, and looked sweet with the carbon weave. The Vincero Design Magnetic Water Bottle System is pretty darn cool!
